One of my way-too-far-on-this-todo-list-ideas is to try and run multiple specialized Sling instances along the lines that you mention, collaborating via a (JMS or other) message bus. With the provisioning model and a crankstart-style launcher it's easy to create specialized Sling instances, and async servlets should allow for sharing the load via a message bus. Ok, there's a bit of "in theory" in all that ;-) I won't have much time to work on this in the near future but if you guys are game for that I'd be happy to collaborate on the design and testing of such a thing. -Bertrand
